Mystery Web Novels & Detective Betrayal Stories

Sophia Veyra was supposed to marry Lucien Moretti, the ruthless mafia king her family had chosen for her. But three days before the wedding, she disappears without a trace. Desperate to protect their family, Sophia’s parents force her twin sister, Anastasia, to take her place. Unlike her gentle sister, Anastasia is a trained fighter and a private investigator. She enters the Moretti mansion with one goal: find Sophia, uncover why she ran, and escape before Lucien discovers the truth. But Lucien already knows. From the moment Anastasia walks down the aisle, he knows she is not Sophia. Worse, he has known Anastasia for years—and has been waiting for the chance to make her his. As Anastasia digs deeper, she discovers Sophia’s disappearance was never about love. Someone wanted a Veyra daughter inside the Moretti family, and Sophia discovered a secret powerful enough to put both families at risk. Now Anastasia is trapped between a dangerous husband who refuses to let her go, a sister who knows more than she admits, and an enemy determined to destroy them all. And the closer Anastasia gets to the truth, the more she realizes she may have been the bride they wanted all along.

The caller doesn't want her to stop the killings. He wants her to remember. And at exactly 2:17 A.M., the final call is coming.
